A friend of mine has a 2008 and he is very happy with a Black Bear Performance Tune.

Don't waste your money on these. I was thinking about getting a performance chip too, but it looks like these things don't do crap. I was reading this article about it, and it looks like these things don't work at all

I had Hypertech for awhile which seemed fine to me. I could notice a big difference over stock but I just got a Diablo predator and it is even better so far. The entire truck rocks all over the place when I just rev the engine lol and it seems to run smoother with overall driving.

I have heard only good things about Blackbear and from talking with Justin there I would recommend him. I personally just don't want to swap out my ECM for a new one. It just doesn't set right with me.

Where are you located? If there is a tuner near you, you could just go get a live tune instead of switching out your ecm.
